Pennsylvania American Water launches water line upgrade in Royersford

ROYERSFORD — Pennsylvania American Water announced Tuesday the kick-off of a water main replacement in Royersford Borough. The project, with an estimated cost of $265,000, will replace approximately 2,000 feet of aging pipe that dates back to the 1920s and will improve service reliability for customers while increasing water flows for firefighting.

Crews this week will begin installing new eight-inch ductile-iron water main along Chestnut Street between Lewis Road and Sixth Avenue.

Construction will take place weekdays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., and motorists are urged to find alternate routes. The company expects to complete the water main installation, including transfer of all customer services and final paving restoration, by the end of August.

During construction, customers might experience temporary service interruptions, discolored water and/or lower than normal water pressure. Crews will work as quickly as possible to shorten the length of these temporary inconveniences. For more information, contact Pennsylvania American Water’s customer service center at 1-800-565-7292.
